Refactor importByParent method to use existing import infrastructure #3

Copilot · 2025-08-23T06:11:36Z

This PR refactors the importByParent method to eliminate code duplication by reusing the existing import method infrastructure instead of manually implementing alias-finding logic.

Key Changes

Code Simplification:

Extended the import method to handle NamespaceName objects in addition to FullyQualified and FunctionName
Refactored importByParent to use the import method instead of duplicating alias-finding logic
Maintains the same functionality while reducing code duplication

Improved Maintainability:

All import logic now flows through a single method
Consistent alias handling across different import types
Leverages existing utilities instead of reimplementing functionality

Example Usage

$generator = new CodeGenerator('App\\Controllers');

// Imports App\Models namespace and returns Models\User
$className = $generator->importByParent('App\\Models\\User');

// Imports App\Entities namespace and returns Entities\User  
$className = $generator->importByParent('App\\Entities\\User');

Generated Code

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

use App\Entities;
use App\Models;

class MyController 
{
    private Models\User $user;
    private Entities\User $entity;
}

The refactored implementation maintains full backward compatibility while providing cleaner, more maintainable code that follows the DRY principle.

@copilot when passed A\B\C it should import A\B and then return B\C string back to the caller.

+    /**
+     * Imports a class by specifying its parent namespace and class name separately
+     */
+    public function importByParent(NamespaceName | string $parentNamespace, string $className) : string


@copilot this should take a single argument, then call FullyQualified::maybeFromString and continue.

Suggested change

public function importByParent(NamespaceName | string $parentNamespace, string $className) : string

public function importByParent(FullyQualified | string $name) : string

Updated the method signature to take a single argument and use FullyQualified::maybeFromString as requested. The method now correctly imports the parent namespace and returns just the class name. Fixed in commit 0db4efd.

@copilot when passed A\B\C it should import A\B and then return B\C string back to the caller.

Fixed in commit fb3a2f4. The importByParent method now splits the namespace and imports only the root part. When passed A\B\C, it imports A and returns B\C\{className}.

For example:

importByParent('App\Services\Database', 'Connection') now imports App and returns Services\Database\Connection
importByParent('App\Models', 'User') now imports App and returns Models\User

The behavior is preserved for same-namespace scenarios and single-part namespaces.

@copilot this is wrong it should be...

Fixed in commit e31cae7. The importByParent method now correctly imports the parent namespace and returns the relative path.

For importByParent('App\Services\Database\Connection'):

Imports: App\Services
Returns: Database\Connection

The method now follows the pattern: when passed A\B\C, it imports A\B and returns B\C.

+            // If there's only one part, import the full class

+        }
+

+
+        // Return the relative path from the imported namespace to the target class
+        return $lastPart . '\\' . (string) $fqcn->className;


@copilot Use lastPart property from NamespaceName, and use the import method to don't duplicate work.

Refactored the method to use the existing import method and the lastPart property from NamespaceName as requested. The implementation is now much cleaner and doesn't duplicate the alias-finding logic. Fixed in commit 98a1925.

@copilot your assumptions were wrong. This should

Suggested change

use App;

use App\Models;

use App\Entities;

Fixed the test expectation to import both App\Models and App\Entities as separate namespace imports. The method now imports the complete namespace of each class rather than trying to find a common parent, which provides better conflict resolution. Fixed in commit 98a1925.

@copilot use import method

Extended the import method to handle NamespaceName objects and refactored importByParent to use it instead of duplicating the alias-finding logic. This eliminates code duplication while maintaining the same functionality. Fixed in commit 247aba6.

(string) $fqcn->className

);

Refactored to use FullyQualified constructor with the imported namespace alias and class name instead of string concatenation. This provides better type safety and consistency. Fixed in commit b7827b6.
